Managing Your Time


If you are classed as a Key Worker then you are either working normally or find yourself under huge pressure trying to do your job. Folk like nurses and doctors for example are not only struggling with the sheer numbers of people they have now got to deal with, but also find they are at a much higher risk than most at catching Covid-19.  Most Key Workers are brave and should and are getting much credit for everything they are doing.

There are many though like me who are as I have said in a state of Lockdown. It initially sounds great sat at home chilling and enjoying all this free time. Only it has a dark side because not being able to travel means that a life at home could become a nightmare as the daily routine fades and laziness and malaise creep in. To avoid this some time management and discipline is needed. You need to get up in the morning, wash, dress, shave, eat breakfast and ponder the days tasks. If you don’t have a task then contemplate one, a new skill or one of those jobs that you planned to do three years ago.

Don’t find yourself wrapped in a sweaty duvet covered in tea stains thinking I just don’t care as you realise that you have spent most of the day in bed and have squashed the canary. And the remains of your last meal are stuck to your foot.  OK if you have teenage children then this is their natural state, but it is not normal for the rest of us. So you will feel better in the long run if you do stuff or learn new stills even if it’s only juggling or as I did the first couple of days repot all the succulents and cactus, yes all 100-ish of them.



OK you may not be allowed to do this
unless you have a huge garden
